Abstract
Apparatus, methods and systems of wireless power distribution are disclosed. Embodiments involve the redirection of collimated energy to a converter, which stores or converts the energy into a more suitable form of energy for at least one specific point-of-use that is coupled to the converter.
Claims29
A wireless power routing system comprising:
- a power beam generator configured to form a collimated power beam such that the forming comprises adjusting a flux density of the power beam as a function of a change in one or more optical properties of at least one beam redirector caused by a switch, wherein the one or more optical properties include at least one of an index of refraction, opacity, absorption, reflectivity, an energy gap, a band gap, or a junction type;
- at least one beam redirector in communication with the switch and configured to receive the power beam and direct the power beam through free space to near a point of power consumption;
- and
- a beam converter associated with the point of power consumption and configured to convert the power beam to a useable power for use at the point of power consumption.
